Maggie Gyllenhaal poses with Jeff Bridges at last night’s ARP the Magazine‘s the Ninth Annual Movies for Grownup Awards held in Beverly Hills where she presented Jeff with the best actor award:

“[During filming], you had everyone come in your trailer and you had vodka and I wasn’t used to that, but I had an almost 2-year-old and I was up for it. And I remember in the end it dwindled down [to a few people] and you put your arm around Scott [Cooper, the director] and said, ‘This is our leader, man, this is our leader.’ And I wasn’t sure, but I went with you because you said that and you said that with all your heart … And I know something about his heart, and he deserves every award that you guys could come up with to give him.”

Robert DeNiro took home a Lifetime Achievement Honour.

Also attending the awards:

• Juliette Lewis
• Morgan Fairchild
• Billy Crystal
• Estella Warren

“I was only 14, so I hadn’t got around to thinking about what I wanted to do,” I had this lovely geography teacher, and I asked her whether she thought I should give modelling a try, and she said, ‘Kate, just give it a go. If it doesn’t work out, you can always go to college.’ ”

“I never dreamt of being a model. I still can’t quite believe it, even now. I still think I’m blagging it a bit, but nobody’s cottoned on yet,” “I’m still having a wonderful time modelling. In career terms, things have never been better.”

Christina Aguilera works it while she films scenes for her upcoming movie Burlesque on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.  Christina co-stars with, among other stars, Cher who has had high praise for Christina:

“I’m shocked but she’s really good. The other day we were hamming it up so badly, so old, like vaudevillian. She was keeping up! She was hot. Her game is good

In between takes Christina looks like she could use some sleep.  Maybe she had a wild Valentine’s Day weekend?

Lady GaGa has made a grand entrance that only she could pull off.  I don’t even know what to say.  Nice drapes? I would be seriously pissed if she sat in front of me with that contraption on her head.

Lady GaGa left organizers of the Brit Awards (going on now) scrambling at the last minute as she ditched plans to do an elaborate musical number to instead pay tribute to Alexander McQueen who took his life last week after becoming inconsolable over his mother’s death the week prior.

Lady GaGa has been left devastated by her friend’s death. Says a source:

‘She was a huge fan of his talents as a designer – but more importantly a good friend of his. And she is determined her show will be a tribute.

‘At the Brits, it was going to be a typically wild Lady Gaga show – but now she has decided she will deliver a much more sombre performance.’

She was to have performed Poker Face but will instead perform Telephone (3 new promotional stills attached, two of which she has telephone headgear wrapped around her noggin) and Dance in the Dark.  Judging by her arrival outfit it will be ‘sombre a la GaGa‘.
